let me know what you think
 
fenders

just my opinion, but i would have followed the body line of the fenders with the bedliner spray....giving that "fender flare" look. it doesnt look bad, just alot more boxier now.

oh, and tuck that tail pipe back up where it belongs :D
 
driving down 77s in charlotte my drivers side rear tire blew out going almost 70mph. ripped off part of my rear bumper when it went. glad my daughter and I were safe. used the opportunity to take some advise and redo the rhino liner since I had to replace the back bumper
 
next up was replacing the sway bar end links along with the upper and lower front control arms. the bushings went bad due to a lot of oil leaking on them over the years and the fact that well they were just old. Got a great deal on a set of rustys x-flex fully adjustable upper and lowers.
 
just recently installed my 2.25inch BB lift with skyjacker shocks. did some research and found that the rear spring post are shorter then the front and when putting on the pucks there isn't much for the spring to sit around. After more research I found a solution that seemed to look like it worked.....and it did

after having some issues with the front spring we unbolted the track bar and had to you toe straps to slide the axle back into position to bolt it back on.........that was kinda a pain. but after all said and done I think it came out great. now I just need some 31s/265s and ill be set....for now.

just picked up a set of American racing outlaw II wheels with 31s for a great price on craigslist. couldn't pass these up. The wheels are a 15X8 with 3.75 backspacing. wanting to find 1 more of the same as a spare so I can get rid of the 5 stock canyon wheels I had on it.
